Tech Take Apart

Tech Take Apart Overview

Those old tech and appliances are still good for one thing, tinkering! At Tech Take Apart we encourage visitors of all ages to open up gadgets like printers, stereos, computers, media players and more. No experience is needed our facilitators will help get you started with the right tools and our resident engineer can introduce you to the inner workings of the machines you disassemble.

There are no upcoming Tech Take Apart activities scheduled. Check back often for updates or follow us on social media for all the latest announcements.

Tech Take Apart Program Details

Explore how Things Work

How does a DVD spin? What makes the printer move? Find the answer to those questions and others through this hands-on exploration. Every machine can be broken down into smaller parts that are easier to understand as you strip away the exterior.

Resident Engineer

Leonardo’s Workshop is a make space ready with an expert on hand. Our Resident Engineer Bruce Kizerian can answer your questions as you dive deeper into the appliances or tech you open up.

METech Recycling

Tech Take Apart is brought to you by generous donations from METech Recycling. The Leonardo is a non-profit community-powered museum, and without their support, this program would not be possible.
